A young man sees a professional result told as a sudden turn. I propose to look for information about the path: preparation, attempts, resources and people involved.

In the example, a sequence of months is condensed in seconds. This does not make success false, but it changes what we can learn from it.

A useful story also shows choices and constraints. Imitation of the final result, without understanding the passages, risks producing expectations that the story does not allow to verify.
